Someone needs to buy this car and continue prepping for FSP. __________________ Josh | | | 02-08-2011, 04:52 AM | #23 | Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: the sticks of MA Posts: 45 | Quote: Originally Posted by BimmerBum This is very tempting... someone buy this! | working on it...

When you show up to the autocross, loosen the three retaining nuts with a 1/2" drive and knock them to full negative camber. Proceed to kick ass. FSP stand for "F Street Prepared". This link is out of date, but it will give you an idea - http://www.moutons.org/sccasolo/Rules/sp.html Basically, motor stays pretty much stock, but you can go nuts with suspension (using stock pickup points) and tires are wide open. Some interior weight reduction is also allowed, as are massive flares to cover the tires. FSP is the slowest of the prepared classes, but it's really fun to drive a momentum car. | | | 02-09-2011, 08:32 PM | #26 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: NJ USA Posts: 159 | Can't send PM's Thanks Last edited by RCV7; 02-09-2011 at 09:05 PM. | | | 02-09-2011, 08:54 PM | #27 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | ^^^ You can send PMs now. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-10-2011, 06:06 AM | #28 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 16 | Couple of questions: I too have been running my ti on the track and at autocrosses since 2000. Since upgrading the car (mostly dedicated for track use now), I have been tracking 17s with 235/40's. Overall I'm pleased with the set-up, especially at the track, but for autocross, I have a nagging feeling that I should return to a 16" wheel size and a commensurate tire size. My main reason is that top speed is not an issue for this event and the smaller unsprung weight would be helpful with the quick speed changes on an autocross course. Anybody have any opinions before I invest in the new sizes? Question 2. Notwithstanding all the above, I may be interested in your Kosei's if you sell them separately. Thanks, been awhile since I've checked in to the site. | | | 02-10-2011, 02:57 PM | #29 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Odenton, MD Posts: 419 | Quote: Originally Posted by dashate Couple of questions: I too have been running my ti on the track and at autocrosses since 2000.

Thanks, been awhile since I've checked in to the site. | For autocross, I'm really starting to think a 15x10 with a 275/30 Hoosier A6 is the way to go. You'll be into 3rd gear a lot more than normal, but the increase acceleration will be a benefit against cars with better hp/weight. A steel (Diamond Racing) 15x10 and 275 Hoosier weighs the same as my K1 and 245 V710. As for question two, I will most likely be selling the wheels with the car. If, for some reason, I don't, I will likely be keeping the tires and selling the wheels separately. | | | 02-11-2011, 06:49 PM | #30 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Odenton, MD Posts: 419 | Car is still very much for sale.
